protrack.gr/en/gears/jimny-vvt-ddis-redu...gears-high-27-low-97
i sent them email and they told me that the ratio fort this kit is H=1.272 and L=4.332
my stock high is 1.320 and low 2.643
im sorry but i dont have really deep understanding with ratios,
this kit will make any difference in high?
i dont think i will go with the rocklobster as it going to be too expensive, may i can go with just gear change that can be close to that, or even better?
thank you.

With 31 inch tires you likely wouldn't notice much difference between the 1.272 and the 1.32. Personally I would prefer a lower ratio but it would still work on highways. As mentioned before, you would be cruising at 90-100 at a slightly lower RPM but it would be a little more work to get there. Your ratio in low would certainly be low enough for rock crawling.
The only caution I would give is that you confirm the kit you mention doesn't require a new chain.
I started out with nothing & still have most of it left

there is any other kit you know that can also modify some high range beside the lobster? now with my 215 it takes me forever to get 100 lol
plus, it can lead to lot of load on the transmission if the same High and bigger tires?
i can live with the same axle shafts for this size?

No matter what you do, it's gonna cost you money. 400 euro is pretty cheap, and works great.
Perhaps you should consider smaller tyres?

it looks good, 127% reduction..
do you know if it fit for the pushbutton case and if the chain doesnt need to be repaced?
i know it cost, but the lobster thing will cost around 2k $ .
im just looking for nice crawling, i can see that there is a lot of kits but most of them just upgrade the LOW range,
cant find anything normal for High as well, im just scared to blow my transmission.

But it should be possible to find an old SJ tranfercase for £100-150, throw in a new set of bearings.
All gearsets for the SJ transferbox changes both the high and low ratio.
This set changes both high and low in push button jimny transfer case. I've never heard of anyone changing the chain. So I'd only do that if it looks worn out. shop.traction4x4.it/en/crawler-gear-3.74...i-jimny-push-button/

there is really no other simple option to go above 3.7 LOW ratio with the push button?

See yellow.place/en/rockwatt-eng-scunthorpe-britain or search for Redacted Engineering on Facebook.
He can now make new gearsets to various ratios and polish old gears to make Rocklobsters quiet. At a cost of course.

copy from their mail sent to me,
Our shop is new and we have not publish yet the gears for the automatic because we have not the appropriate photos for the product.
If you deside to procced an order, i can publish the product without photos.
Generally is the same with the other kits except the chain parts. Some dimensions and teeth is different.
The speedometer correction also included.
they going to make 3 variations
H= 1,41 L= 4,79
H= 1,52 L= 5.17
H= 1,63 L= 5,54!!
i think thats great news for our pushbutton jimnys.
the question is, if they include the chain parts with the kit.
